DEAR SOS: After my nephew’s graduation from UC Santa Barbara, we had dinner at The Brewhouse on Montecito Street. It was a most memorable meal. I hope you can get the recipe for the incredible Peanut Butter Cream Pie. It was light, luscious and subtly flavored, almost mousse-like in texture. It would make a perfect desert for my summertime gatherings.

DEAR SHIRLEY: Chef Saturnina Mora was happy to oblige. Congratulations to the graduate.

Crust

1 ½ cups Oreo cookie crumbs

¼ cup creamy peanut butter

Heat the oven to 350 degrees.

Combine the cookie crumbs and peanut butter and mix well. Shape the mixture into a 9-inch pie pan. Bake until set, 7 minutes. Cool completely.

Filling

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

½ cup peanut butter

1 ¾ cups powdered sugar

3 cups whipping cream

Mix together the cream cheese, peanut butter and powdered sugar until there are no lumps.

In a separate bowl, whip the cream to form stiff peaks, then fold it into the cream cheese mixture and pour it into the pie crust. Chill the pie 3 to 4 hours before serving.
